Demarcation When the schema of individuation presented earlier is applied to Bernstein’s objection, it becomes clear, as it was with Appiah, that Bernstein is not interested in individuality taken as non-instantiability. He is not concerned with the fact that the group of Latinos is not instantiable into other groups of Latinos.

This is irrelevant for present purposes, although I discuss the meaning and reference of ethnic terms in general, and ‘Latino’ in particular, in chapter 3. The notions of racial and ethnic groups themselves are also contested, but for the sake of brevity I assume that we all have some understanding of what these expressions mean when we say that Blacks constitute a racial group and Latinos constitute an ethnic group.
